Isi artikel

Walsh discusses the new onshore deposits called shale gas. Natural gas from shale rock promises to provide cleaner, abundant energy for the US and the world. But there is a catch. It could come with significant environmental and social costs. As shale-gas drilling has ramped up, it is been met with a growing environmental backlash. There are complaints about spills and air pollution from closely clustered wells and fears of wastewater contamination from the hydraulic fracturing process -- also known as fracking -- that is used to tap shale-gas resources.
